Alberta & Albertans Captured
View allAll Photos Tagged alberta
Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged (in other words, no climbing allowed). The protected Hoodoos site is a guaranteed spot to see Hoodoos but smaller versions of these sandstone giants can be found all over the Badlands.

It is a rare that I don't remember exactly where I was when I see a photo that I have taken but I don't remember the details for this shot. I guess I was totally blown away by the stunning scenery.
We must have been on the highway heading south from Canmore, near Banff, Alberta to Waterton, Alberta. The Rocky Mountains to the west and rich agricultural land in the foreground.
The stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains immediately give way to farming and ranching in south western Alberta. This photo reminds me of the emblem of Alberta which depicts a blue sky, snow capped mountains and a wheat field. This photo is taken just north of Waterton Lakes National Park.

Peyto Lake is such a glorious view, even on smokey days such as this one. The color of the lake is caused by glacier run-off and minerals. It is located right off the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, Canada.
** This is my final shot of this most beautiful lake, its sadly missing the famous view of the “Valley of Ten peaks” that should be in the background of the shot, the peaks are hidden by thick low cloud . It was pretty disappointing not to see that iconic landscape at its best but the colour of the lake is still pretty incredible I used a tripod for this shot so I was at least able to keep the ISO fairly low I did not adjust the colour
Located in Banff National Park, about 8 miles from the town of Lake Louise, this glacier-fed lake is famous for its breathtaking turquoise waters, which get their colour from the refraction of light off rock flour (fine rock particles) carried by meltwater.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

I tried a little panorama editing in Lightroom.
Also known as Wainwright bridge. Beautiful quiet area in smokey Alberta.
This little indigenous boy was watching his dad dance and learning to dance just like him.

"Sometimes adults think they know more than the children. But the children are closer to the truth. Have you ever noticed how quickly they can let go of resentments? Have you ever noticed how free they are of prejudice? Have you ever noticed how well the children listen to their bodies? Maybe adults need to be more like children." ~Black Elk
Built in 1907 and is the second longest trestle in Canada.
Cloudy overcast day in the Wainwright area of Alberta.
Not one snowy owl to be seen.
As seen by the roadside. I had some better photos but this was the nicest pose. Thanks to Jani Lee for seeing this @ 80km/hr.
